That sounds all good.

I think the main reason the topic was brought up was that it's one of
the few blockers which are still open.

Let's split it into two issues:

 Moving to a background thread, that's probably a feature request, so we
could just downgrade that to a "hight" priority one.

 For the endless loop, we can leave that as blocker (in the end you have
to kill the app, so it's like a crash with lost unsaved work).
